Canada played an important leadership role in securing an ambitious new Global Biodiversity Framework. However, there is still work to be done. Today, Y2Y shares their input on Canada’s national biodiversity strategy and action plan.
This submission underlines the need for an ambitious, effective national biodiversity strategy and action plan — essential to stem the dual climate and biodiversity crises in Canada and get the world on a positive path to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.
